I had a great time at the North American Handmade Bike show. It was so nice to meet and talk with so many of you that I’ve been talking with via email or phone. Thanks to every one who can by to hi and talk bikes. It was a busy three days and I […]
I had a good long ride last night that went into the night. I didn’t take a light because I thought I could make it back before dark but the snow slowed me. When I went to get my back up emergency light that I always keep in my pack – I couldn’t find it. […]
This is now a frameset option – a truss fork that will take a standard 29″ wheel (and provide heaps of clearance) but also a standard front hub fitted a fat rim capable of running a 3.7″ tire. It is not just for snow (it just happens to be snowing in these parts at […]
Here’s a frameset awaiting some parts and finishing. Seatpost is at max. The Merlin welds are wonderful.
Update as of 7/18/17: This post is based on an older version of the H-Bar and isn’t useful for fitting the H-Bar anymore. It’s a great historical reference, but if you’re looking to fit your H-Bar, please refer to our Support page where you can find the H-Bar Manual which will give you information […]

Actually, you can run a Rohloff hub on any Jones frameset with an eccentric bottom bracket if you don’t mind having zip ties all the […]
The Titec bar is the same width and angle as the original titanium h-bar but with some rise (and built out of aluminum). It’s (at time of writing) $95 without grips and wrap and $130 with grips and wrap installed like this.
Here are some pictures I took of a frame for someone who was asking me “how big” a 24″ bike could be. In the pictures the seat post is at the max. From the center of the bb, to the top of the seat where the sit pads are is 35.5”. The top stem is 17degx110mm […]
A 24″ SS frame set with (Jones modified XTR) cranks. The cranks and decals are installed and I’m just waiting here for a chain ring. Nothing missing, just nothing added. Singlespeed only :-)>
A little gold and some Crud Catcher mounts.
This is the Merlin built Jones truss fork. Beautifully crafted. They’re set to build the Fat Fork version too – to provide a 3.7″ front tire option.
